Wrong attitude, Tony.

It doesn't matter in the slightest what Inc is offering or discussing, our pilot group needs to open dialogue and establish a relationship or two with XJT. Do you need Jerry's permission to take a trip to IAH or ATL? I certainly hope that we already talk to the ASA guys?!?!?

The other groups may be waiting for YOU to contact them. Somebody has to make the first move.

Of course, we all have to look out for ourselves, but that doesn't mean that a win-win resolution cannot be achieved...we at least have to try.

I know that most SAPA reps are sincere in what they are doing and are not management stooges or wannabes...that was just an attention getter (it worked).

Note: I'm not a hypocritical complainer who is too lazy too participate in the process... I appreciate you doing the job you do, union or not, somebody has to do it. I currently have far too many military reserve obligations to do any pilot-group activities at this time. But I will after I retire.

EDIT: I actually have some time on my hands right now...if none of the SAPA people can swing it, I'LL go to Houston as a SAPA-designated ambassador if that will help.
